muzzle brakes
« on: December 24, 2002, 03:09:12 AM »
I asked a similar questions a while back and folks pretty much said "chop it off and recrown the barrel".

I have access to a lathe and I think I am going to make a Stainless steel sleeve to fit over the brake and use a couple of set screws to hold it in place.   I will have to be a snug sliding fit so it can be removed if I want to.  This way I can "silence" it without having to modify the barrel.

Unfortunately all the ranges here in Sunny Warm Minnesota are closed for the season (May anyway) so I am not going to get a chance to post any resultes till spring warm up :cry:

Will let folks know what happens.  The barrel I am experimenting on is a 14" TC Hunter (SS) in .223.

Happy Holidays All.....

VVCG makes a On/Off brake. Take a look and it will give you some idea as to how they are made.

They have some very unique brakes.  I was thinking more along the lines of one that would slip over the TC Muzzletamer and have a lip on the front to keep if from sliding back due to recoil then be held in place on the back with a set screw.  Simple on Simple off.

Not sure what it would be like to try to "unscrew" a muzzle tamer from the end of the barrel but I got a hunch it would be a bear...
